I'm doing a PhD in soil sciences so I suppose I am going to end up working in some sort of scientific field.  Don't want to be an academic though. 

As long as I can get a job earning over £27k in the city after I finish this, then I'll be laughing.  I write novels too, I would love to get a few published one day.  And when I get old I want to either start a business or work for a business restoring classic cars or scooters. 

When I came to Enlisting age, I figured I wouldn't be able to do it. I'd have to drop 60lbs to get into the end range of overweight soldiers and who knows what else. I wanted to be a United States Marine, just like my father. I still yearn for the chance, but knowing I wouldn't be able to do it as a man makes it hurt a little less. 

Another dream would branch from my music. I played for 8 years and knew the entire time that it was what I wanted to do, but here I am, not doing it. I wanted to take the amazing potential that I had to new lengths and audition for a spot at Julliard. I still dream of the chance. 

As for reality, I'm taking to an interest I had and really enjoyed in high school. I took Auto Tech and I just felt great using my hands. I figure this is my calling and so I'm taking classes this Fall semester to get working my two certificates and finish up my last two GE classes for my AA. 

Yep. 

Well as of now...I'm now a janitor. Well, not technically. But I work for a cleaning company that contracts with businesses and we clean them. I do bathrooms (which oddly, I don't mind cleaning and could do it all day) and floors. I get to run one of those little floor cleaning machine things, and then a giant rotating pad that polishes them....fun fun...I fit the typical male stereotype now...HAHAHAHA.

I'm currently only 15, so at the moment I'm not able to do much towards my future. My first plan is to be a rock star (like every other teenager wants to be XD), and then my backup plan is to join the circus. And my backup plan after that is to become a doctor.

Ah, the dream of all dreams

My fiancee actually is a mechanic, although now that she is transitioning and passes as female easily it is harder for her to find work. We live in Nebraska so a lot of people are very close minded about female mechanics here. The funny part is she's only 30 and has had her certification as a mechanic for 13 years and her certification as a parts specialist for 17 years... so obviously experience should not be a concern with her. Her father owned his own shop and she was raised doing work there with him.

If we had the money I would open a shop with her and get my certification as well. Realistically though it is just something we'd never be able to afford to do
